NANLUX has expanded on its light shaping lineup with the introduction of the FE30 (RF-FE-PB) and BE55 (RF-BE-PB) Parallel Beam Reflectors. Both the FE30 and BE55 reflectors feature a lightweight, ...

Light reflectors might not seem like a target for technical innovation, however the Cine Reflect Lighting System from The Light Bridge shows how good a reflector can be. People have used all kinds of ...

Dozens of times over the last decade NASA scientists have launched laser beams at a reflector the size of a paperback novel about 240,000 miles (385,000 kilometers) away from Earth. They announced ...

The stability of a light sail riding on a laser beam is analyzed both analytically and numerically. Conical sails on Gaussian beams, which have been studied in the past, are shown to be unstable in ...

An epic lunar laser experiment is still going strong, five decades after the Apollo astronauts set it up on the surface. The moonwalking crew of Apollo 11, which landed on the moon 50 years ago this ...

The impossible task of traveling 25.6 trillion miles to Alpha Centauri, our closest star, is now possible. Using a Directed Energy System for Targeting of Asteroids and exploRation (DE-STAR), a ...

For the first time ever, scientists received a signal after sending laser beams from Earth to a reflector on NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter around the moon. The successful signal was received ...

Over the last decade, NASA scientists have been shooting laser beams at a reflector on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter circling the Moon that's about the size of a paperback novel. That small target ...
